Hello, It seems that if I use mod_deflate to compress zope's responses, I take a major hit -- around 1.4 seconds without compression and around 16.4 seconds with. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I have zope 2.7.7 running with the fast-cgi ZServer enabled. Urls beginning with http://pkfinance.info/pkf-z1/ go to Zope. Here's what I see: a% /usr/bin/time curl -v -o /dev/null http://pkfinance.info/pkf-z1/news/index_html * About to connect() to pkfinance.info <http://pkfinance.info> port 80 * Trying 207.210.209.230... connected * Connected to pkfinance.info <http://pkfinance.info> (207.210.209.230<http://207.210.209.230>) port 80
